The Panorama Of the battle of Waterloo,
which has been in San Francisco for the
past two years and two months, was seen
for the last time Wednesday night on the
corner of Mason and Eddy streets. The
panorama building will then be closed for
about a month while the task OF placing
the "Siege of Vicksburg " is going on.
The popularity of the panorama as q
source of amusement and instruction has
been remarkable IS may be understood
through the fact that since it was estab-
lished in San Francisco SOC, 900 persons
have visited it. The largest number of
people paid 80 cents to see the great
painting during the G.. A. r. Encamp.
ment, when 2,400 visited ii on one day.
In the 780 days that the picture has been
on exhibition probably everybody in San
Francisco has called there at least once.
The panorama was painted In Paris by
Messrs. Bertrand and Sergent, two famous
artists, who were occupied one year and
five months in performing the works.

THE CASH.

The count of cash in the United States
Treasury, which is now in progress, has
developed the fact that the vault capa.
city is entirely inadequate for the safe
handling Of silver. The silver vault was
piled to its utmost capacity some time
ago, and there still remained about
5000, 900 of standard dollars, which for
the want of a better place, were piled in
bags in the p~assageway leading to the
vault. In making the count these bags
had to be removed to an outside hall,
where they remained protected from out
side interference by nothing but a pine
board partition. They have therefore
been guarded at oil times by watchmen.
Every ~precaution has been taken to pre-
vent their being tempered with while in
this exposed condition. The count will
last five weeks more, and the silver can.
not be returned to the vault.room until
that is concluded. In the meantime
work is being pushed OF the new silver
vault authorized by the last Congress.
1t will have a storage capacity for l00.-
OOO, 600 standard dollars, and will prob.
ably be ready for use in September.

HI PAUpER DUMP.

Eviction is a barbarous remedy in
such a country as Ireland, where the
case of al unfortunate farmer is simply
that of a man who is a partner with the
landlord in securing the product of the
land. But as the recent evictions have
been reported there is an element in the
case that is apt to excite the curiosity of
the reader. When the crowbar brigade
has done its part and gone away and
left the sick woman, and the wretched
children, and the helpless old people
houseless by the roadside. what becomes
of all these, and how is it that a whole
country side does not become filled with
beggars dying in every ditch? How
these painful consequences, which it
might be thought would necessarily fol.
low upon the evictions are avoided is
shown by the story of the assisted i'm
migrants" These people are all hustled
away to America. America is like the
grave to all these products Of mis-.
government, wrong and inhumanity; and
an overwhelming burden is spared the
poorhouses Of Ireland by the expendi-
ture from the poor.rates Of the money
necessary to dump upon our shores
these products of England's pauper-pro-
ducing system. Without this country
as an outlet for the worst results OF the
Irish system it would in time correct
itself. That system results in the in.
evitable pauperization of a very large
proportion of the agricultural popula.
tion, and if left to itself this burden
upon the taxable resources of the land
could eventually be such as to force a
change of system; but the bad system
finds q great accessory in the emigrant
ship.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

DETROIT, June 1s.-The new Lieuten-

coat him less than $3.50, according 10
Capt. n. d. Moore, who discovered and

which so much has been said recently.
One of the great mines in that range is
known as the Colby mine. Its stock IL

$500 q share. at which i. is quoted. Capt.
Moore discovered and located this mine
and made Q Government entry Of the land.
He was very poor ct the time and IL be-
came necessary TO ask friends TO assist

entry. Macdonald was at that time roed.

take q third interest in the entry. For

Macdonald often berated the captain fol
drawing him into an improbable venture
with his little earnings. The land was
finally leased by 8 mining company which

REVENUE FOR THE STATES.

The United States Government has
too much evenu and the States not
enough, says the San Francisco Call.
The former gets its money from indirect,
the latter from direct taxation. The ex-
cess of revenue from indirect taxation is
nearly equal to the aggregate of revenue
from direct taxation for State purposes.
1t happens also that the revenue derived
from internal taxation is about equal tc
the excess of the Federal Governments
entire avenue In other words, the
Government tax on whisky, beer and
tobacco amounts to about enough, il
divided among the States, to relieve
them from direct taxation. The prin,
cipal objection to a repeal of the lnterna
Tax law is that such repeal would re
lease two articles from taxation that car
best bear to be taxed. If the way
could be found to tax these two articles
by the States there would be little OBJ
lection to the repeal of the internal ia,
system except from free traders. But
it is held in other quarters to be doubt
full policy to give up the sll9, 600, OOt
we now collect from spirits, beer and
tobacco while the necessaries of life ara
taxed. The problem presented is worth
working out. The internal tax now
amounts to about 81 for each person il
the United States. II diverted to the
States this tax would give California twt
millions towards her somewhat expensive
State Government. That would not b,
enough for us, but in several Of the oldeI
and more economical States a tax Of 5:
per head would cause the State Treasury
to overflow. Missouri, for example, hal
a population of 2, 800, 900, and its entir'
State revenue for all purposes is onl,
So, POS, 600. If Missouri had the pro
ceeds of the internal tax there would b.
complaints in that quarter also of a sur
plus evenue.

to appoint committee to determine upon
legislation for the protection of manu-
facturers and tobacco interests gener-
ally.
The committee made IA
vorable report on Mr.. Ford's res
olution to petition Congress to
abolish Gil internal tax on tobacco. This
WAS the signal for lively debate, which
quickly assumed a political aspect, ard
Democrats and Republicans took sides
energeticslly. After long debate for dis
position, the resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Gumbert's proposition to abolish
the tax on all manufactured tobacco was
next taken up. When a vote was taken
on Gumbert's resolution it was lost and E
committee of seven was appointed to
go to Washington to urge the retention of
taxation as at present On all manufactured
goods.
The convention then adjourned.
